It is a book about passports and borders, rats and wolves, soldiers and ghosts. It is a record of the realities – and the unrealities – of life in the Balkans, narrated by ‘an ordinary man with ears of ordinary silk’, whose sees ‘the face of sorrow’ in ‘the Sarajevo wind leafing through newspapers / glued to the street by a puddle of blood’.
